Jacoby Bush, who works in the area, told KOIN 6 News he saw the car racing down the street and go towards a bunch of people before crashing into a fence.
'There was a big group of people over there. Obviously a lot of people scattered, a lot of people looking towards it. It was a lot of chaos,' he said. 'It could have been much worse.'
